From September 2004 to September 2014 I was a Computer Science researcher. My research interests included the design of instruction sets for embedded processors, compiler theory, graph theory, AAC and accessibility, natural language generation, user interface design, privacy theory, and the role of design in creative writing.
Above is a Wordle cloud generated from my PhD Thesis – this may well be the best indicator of my research background.
